Notes
'Armada' daffodil (Narcissus 'Armada') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Its fragrant yellow flowers have orange cups and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. G.L. Wilson bred it.
Pairs well with Carnaval De Nice tulip, Blue fescue, Christmas fern, and Raspberry Sundae peony.
